Inverness, IL, February 12, 2009 - VisionTek Products, LLC, a leading consumer brand owner of advanced PC graphics cards, PC/TV tuners, and PC accessories, became the number one North American channel partner for AMD in 2008. Previously ranked as AMD's leading retail partner, VisionTek's market dominance in consumer graphics cards elevated the company's ranking in 2008. This is attributed, in part, to the superior performance of AMD's ATI Radeon technology. John Byrne, AMD Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Channel and Regional OEM, states "It's no surprise to me that VisionTek was AMD's #1 North American consumer graphics brand in Retail for 2008. VisionTek, as an exclusive AMD Radeon partner, has always focused on putting the consumer's needs first, year after year! We're delighted to have them as a partner and we'll be doing everything to continue to grow share further in 2009." VisionTek exclusively uses ATI Radeon technology to achieve its best-in-class performance standards for graphics cards. The consistency in product quality enables VisionTek to maintain the most extensive product warranties in the industry. "VisionTek is the only company to offer lifetime product warranties and US-based toll free customer support," notes Michael K. Innes, VisionTek Chief Operating Officer. "Discerning gamers trust our brand because we stand behind our products, but ultimately they selected us because we maintain the best performance-to-price standards in the market." VisionTek plans to continue building its partnership with AMD in 2009 with new product launches that will extend the brand's dominance in the consumer market well into the next decade. "VisionTek is a long standing retail partner at Best Buy and leads the way with customer initiatives in the PC graphics category" remarks Scott Wallace, Merchandise Manager For Best Buy's PC peripheral category, "Best Buy has the highest standards in the consumer electronics industry and it stands to reason that our largest AMD graphics partner, VisionTek, is also AMD largest partner for North America in 2008."
